DOVER, Del. -- Robert Yates is preparing to "pass the torch" to his son at the end of the season as he steps down as president of Yates Racing, but what exactly is Doug inheriting? If you look at it from a glass half-full or glass half-empty standpoint, you wind up with two very different conclusions.
First, the positives. Doug Yates will have the benefit of a strong working relationship with Jack Roush's operation, a solid core of dedicated employees, two drivers just reaching their primes and guaranteed starting spots for both cars for the first five races of the 2008 season, if they remain in the top 35 for the rest of the year. It's a chance to start his own operation with a clean slate.
